Ayer encontré la flor que tú me diste
Imagen del amor que me ofreciste
Aun guarda fiel el aroma, aquel tierno clavel
Ayer encontré la flor que tú me diste

Aun guardo aquella carta que me escribiste
De un rojo pasional tenia una marca
Tu firma junto al clavel me puso triste
Aun guardo aquella carta que me escribiste

Regresa por favor pues la vida es muy corta
Salgamos de la duda y del rencor
Muy bien dice el cantor, lo pasado no importa
De todo nuestro orgullo es lo peor
Renovemos la pasión pues la vida es muy corta
Llenemos de calor el corazón

Aroma de perdón añora nuestro ser
Perfume de ilusión de un nuevo amanecer
Frescor de primavera por toda eternidad
Aroma de perdón añora nuestro ser

Regresa por favor pues la vida es muy corta
Salgamos de la duda y del rencor
Muy bien dice el cantor, lo pasado no importa
De todo nuestro orgullo es lo peor
Renovemos la pasión pues la vida es muy corta
Llenemos de calor el corazón

Ayer encontré la flor que tú me diste
Imagen del amor que me ofreciste
Aun guarda fiel el aroma, aquel tierno clavel
Ayer encontré la flor que tú me diste

(Levántense y gocen que la vida es corta
Alégrense por fin que lo demás no importa)

Oigan bien sin temor lo que enseña la vida señores
No te busques otra herida con el mismo error
Oigan bien

(Levántense y gocen que la vida es corta
Alégrense por fin que lo demás no importa)

Tiren ya todas las penas y busquen la vida buena
Con cariño y armonía como el agua y la arena
Qué bueno

(Levántense why gocen que la vida es corta)
(Alégrense) (alégrense por fin que lo demás no importa)

Animense, sacudanse
Acérquense sin problema familia
Ra-ca-ta-ca-ta, cun-cun-pra
Ya los cueros te llaman, te llaman

(Levántense y gocen que la vida es corta
Alégrense por fin que lo demás no importa)

(Levántense y gocen que la vida es corta
Alégrense por fin que lo demás no importa)
